Sometimes it seems like it doesn’t matter which gym you’re in, there’s always the same kind of people. There are those who are new and have no idea what they’re doing, the one guy grunting in front of the mirror clearly making everyone uncomfortable, the girl who’s just there to take selfies, and many, many more. Sometimes it gets a little awkward, but hopefully nothing nearly as bad as the photos that you’re about to see here.
1. The “I Realized My Mistake” Face
We have to give credit to this woman for not making the “I know it all” face. She tried to swing from the ceiling and her mortifying expression tells that she did not do as instructed.
We just hope that she didn’t injure herself. And why on Earth didn’t the person behind the camera rush to help her?
2. Nothing New Here
Every year, we make a New Year’s resolution to get in shape and we become a member of a local gym. But every time we end up falling off the wagon, so we end up making another New Year’s resolution and the cycle keeps going on and on.
It seems like we like to waste our money. These two people also wanted to get in shape. But like most of the New Year’s resolution crew, they will most likely disappear midway through January.
3. Not A Purr-fect Leotard
So, there is a misconception that physically fit people can easily pull off wearing almost anything. But after looking at this one, we are sure many will change their opinion about it.
This is one questionable leotard that doesn’t look good on him. Or it would be best to say that it doesn’t look purr-fect on him. We fully support wearing anything in life, but there are some things that you shouldn’t wear to a gym and this leotard is certainly one of them.
4. Height Issues Everywhere
Tall people often face issues almost everywhere they go. For instance, they find it difficult to sit in a car or plane. When it comes to the gym, it is quite hard for it to suit all types of people because they vary in size and shape.
This guy signed up for his local Chicago based gym as he thought the membership deal was amazing. But there was one problem: he forgot to check if the gym was capable of accommodating someone his height.
5. A Little Gym Session Before Catwalk
We think that this girl was heading to a fashion show, but decided to spend some time in the gym. After all, some people feel more relaxed in the gym. Or maybe she is super dedicated to staying in shape that just tries to spend time in the gym whenever possible.
That still doesn’t make her dress ideal for workouts or even walking on the treadmill. It is dangerous to attempt any physical exercise while wearing thin heels.
6. Once A Sleepyhead, Always A Sleepyhead
All we can hope here is that this picture was taken after an exhausting workout session and not after waking up early just to make it to the gym.
There are early birds at the gym because they don’t want to be there when it becomes overcrowded with people. We hope that a couple of shots of espressos might help her.
7. Secret To Living a Healthy Life
People who don’t know this woman may think that she is not in the right place. But those who attend this small town gym understand that this is a perfect place for her.
She doesn’t want to move into a retirement home and this is how she joins her friends’ weekly bingo gatherings. We have to admit that she’s having more fun than in this moment than most of us have in a year.
8. Winter Is Coming
We know people that spend a lot of time in the gym. For some people, the gym is their way of life and there’s nothing wrong with it.
This guy seems to spend so much time in the gym that he doesn’t have time to do other work, such as knitting. So, he is making other people jealous by knitting a scarf while walking on the treadmill.
9. A Committed Athlete
This man is on a stationary bike, but we have to respect his level of dedication. He is not shy to take extreme safety measures even though they seem a little redundant.
There is a possibility that someone stole his bike and now he comes to the gym for indoor training.
10. Batman Needs Gym As Well
During this time of COVID-19 when everyone is trying to stay inside, Batman also didn’t go out much and it seems like he gained a bit of weight.
So, now he is trying to lose his weight. Seeing Batman run in the gym can give some motivation to his fans who were thinking about joining the gym next week or next month.
11. No Pain, No Gain
Once you start going to the gym, you notice that you don’t look your best sometimes and it is perfectly okay. Most people don’t look perfect when they are lifting or running.
This guy just wanted to show that, before you start making fun of his friend’s face, do keep in mind that you look the same. Just a reminder that most of us don’t look like Instagram models when working out.
12. Perfect Plank Doesn’t Exis…
Did you know that George Hood holds the plank record of eight hours, 15 minutes and 15 seconds? Anyone who has ever done a plank can tell you that doing it for just a minute seems like an eternity.
This lady also wanted to do a plank at the gym and make a world record. However, her focus was on preserving as much calories as she can. So, this is how she does planks. There is a possibility that she just went there to get the weights and simply gave up. We feel a little sorry for her.
13. A Supportive Relationship
When motivational quotes and music can’t make you strive hard to achieve your goals, there is one last trick that can prove to be a masterstroke. Yeah, just ask your girlfriend to come and support you.
It is because some people’s physical training relies on words of wisdom, but then there are people who want their lover to be beside them. It seems clear that this couple doesn’t mind the attention, but we are not sure if others can get motivated by looking at them.
14. Twins At The Gym
Okay, so it was already confusing enough that these twins are identical and they have made it almost impossible to focus on our routine by wearing the same gym clothes. Is it this way with most twins that they like to confuse people?
They also happen to have annoyingly similar names. The one on the right is Jina and the one on the left is Gina. Or is it the other way around? We have no clue and we’re not going to waste time memorizing who is who.
15. A Health Conscious Doggo
As you saw photos of people using gym equipment the wrong way, this is probably the only photo where you can find nothing wrong at all. The doggo is trying to copy his daddy and just look at those eyes, they can melt anyone’s heart.
The doggo is like “we want to work out so can you take your stupid face somewhere else.” By the way, this dog’s yoga position is quite precise.
16. Different Goals, Different Motivations
If you want to become the strongest man in the world, you can’t achieve the goal by just eating 3,500 calories per day. But this is a whole new type of motivation in which a person wants to go up a weight class and is eating a giant piece of chocolate cake.
Something else happening here is how easily he is eating such a delicious treat in front of those people who are most likely trying to lose weight. It’s like eating an apple in front of a person with no teeth. It’s cruel and just makes no sense.
17. Not Using The Blur Feature The Right Way
Now that smartphones are getting more advanced, they come with a lot of new features. Still, it is up to the user to ensure they use the feature the right way. This lady wanted to be the center of attention of her photos.
There’s nothing wrong with it when you are standing in a crowd. But here, she is already in focus, and still, she blurred everything to make herself stand out.
18. Never Ever Skip a Leg Day
You can find a lot of memes on the internet about people who skipped leg day, but why is it so important? Well, here is proof to show you what would happen if you skip leg day. If you do it, it could result in a severely unbalanced body, like this guy has in the photo.
Why does this guy look a lot like Johnny Bravo? Or maybe every guy who skips leg day looks like Johnny Bravo.
19. Not The Right Exercise
Although there are exercises in which you can work out with your baby, we are 100% sure this is not one of them.
The baby seems like he doesn’t care a lot about what his father is doing, but we think that it is quite risky. It is best to try safer exercises with babies.
20. Don’t You Think That’s Double Standards?
Now that fast food franchises offer so many meal options at ridiculously low prices, it seems like they too may need to hit the gym. According to many fitness experts though, McDonald’s meals do not fit a lifestyle that is focused on getting into shape.
As Ronald is trying his best to lift those weights, he doesn’t look comfortable. The same is likely going to happen if you keep on eating fast food and don’t exercise.
21. A Group Work Out
This is by far the strangest way we have ever seen a group work out together. There are other techniques to strengthen your core muscles, but piling up to form a human building block is not the right way to do it.
What happens if one of them loses balance? The collapse may hurt someone. Most probably, the guy at the bottom will get injured. There is a possibility that these guys don’t have the proper equipment, so they had to think outside the box.
22. A Recipe for An Injury
Someone saw this young guy using the equipment the wrong way and they didn’t stop him. Instead, they took out their phone and took a photo. Crouching on weights while trying to lift one can be really dangerous. His friend, who is sitting on the bench, is okay with this new technique though.
It seems like he is waiting for his turn to try this technique. But they should know that working out like that increases the risk of getting a really bad knee injury. We live in a crazy world.
23. A New Way To Treadmill
Although technology has made our lives a lot easier, it also made us seek convenience in almost everything.
The purpose of a treadmill is quite simple, but this lady purchased a Segway just so she could cut down unnecessary walking. She’s a genius.
24. That Defeats The Purpose, Right?
We agree that escalators are great for malls and other buildings, but they have no place at a fitness center. Maybe we’re missing out on something so do let us know if we are wrong about it.
We think that placing escalators outside a gym defeats the purpose of the gym. It is like telling you kid to make sure he saves money and then turning around and blowing your savings on a new Porsche.
25. Multitasking At Its Best
This lady is showing that there is no need to wait and waste time when you can easily do two or more things at the same time. She could have easily waited on the couch in a comfortable environment, but she decided to do some exercise to kill time.
We have to praise this strong woman as she is not letting her age come between her and what she wants to do. Massive respect for you lady!
26. No Work Out Without Music
There is a lot of research that shows listening to music while exercising can help increase stamina and improve the workout as well.
It seems like this person took the research too seriously and made a decision to do everything he can to work out with music. That explains why he went as far as plugging his earphones into his tablet. However, we do like his commitment to exercising with music.
27. He Needs Help
We have no idea why the hell gyms employ trainers as people are pretty good at not making mistakes. In fact, people don’t need trainers at all. Take this photo as an example.
This guy should have asked for advice but it seems like he knows the right way to work out. We just hope that a “non-helpful” trainer stepped in and tried to stop him from lifting weights with his feet.
28. Wait, Don’t Go For It
We are so thankful that this is not a video because we don’t have the courage to watch what happens next. It seems like the person at the bottom of the weight machine is only concerned about the number of weights instead of the pressure applied to his lower body.
We can understand that he wants to push his limits, but there is no need to break every lower bone. And then there is a sidekick trainer who seems to be perfectly fine by what is happening. This looks so dangerous and we hope nothing bad happened.
29. When Balancing Life and Work is Important
For a person to balance professional and personal life is quite difficult. But if someone feels that it is not easy, they should look at this person.
He has found the full-body workout – doing work and working out. It is simply amazing.
30. Making The Gym More Fun?
Some people go to the gym with a non-serious attitude. This woman is eating a full-fat cupcake and reading an Entertainment Weekly magazine without any worry in the world.
She might have made a bet with her husband to go to the gym but never promised she would do anything exhausting while she was there – she simply said she would go to the building.
31. Working Out for Fantastic Four Reunion?
At first, we thought it was The Thing from Fantastic Four, but it seems quite clear that he disappeared after the 2005 movie release. As this guy is trying to lift those heavy weights, it looks like his brain is visible through his skull.
His veins are popping out and it looks scary. The only good thing about the photo is the guy in the background who is keeping an eye on this guy.
32. And Where’s The Handbag?
When it comes to workout footwear, sneakers or even tennis shoes can be fine. But we have no idea why this woman wanted to come to the gym in heels to work out. Let us know if this is a new technique to enhance balance and strength.
Nevertheless, we just feel that it can be super uncomfortable to workout in heels. As it is her choice, we will recommend that don’t try to follow her because wearing heels while working out can cause a serious ankle injury.
33. An Invention for Bigger Rodents?
People who like to stay in shape find it really exciting to try new inventions in the field because they get to test their body limits and get better results.
But we have some concerns related to this instrument because it resembles a hamster running wheel and doesn’t look safe at all. Would you give this one a try?
34. The Student Has Become The Master
We don’t want to judge anyone here but the gym trainer looks a lot like the person he is pointing his finger at, tell us if we are wrong here. But one thing we know for sure that the student is in better shape than his master.
It seems like the trainer is not giving a personal example of a healthy individual. As it is a local gym and not a big brand, we are pretty sure it doesn’t happen in most professional gyms.
35. Mr. Potato Head Trying to Be Fit and Healthy
It seems like Mr. Potato Head spent a lot of time sitting on his couch and not working a lot. That’s why he has put on some weight. Now that he has left the TV screen he’s trying to balance both personal life and the gym and we are so happy for him.
Although the costume seems like it gets hot inside quite easily, it can help in both losing water weight much faster and passing out from dehydration.
36. Don’t Lift More Than You Can Handle
This guy tried to show off his latest workout and it looks clear that he needs to work more. It would have been best if he had squeezed in a few one-on-one training sessions before trying to lift heavy weights.
Not only that he was unable to impress anyone, he also narrowly missed getting injured.
37. Tail End Of The Gym
A dog is a man’s best friend and that’s why they often try to become a part of their owner’s workout session. This doggo wanted to exercise and he looks ecstatic to do some bench-pressing.
Although the doggo is already quite fit and in shape, it seems just wants to exercise to spend quality time with his daddy.
38. No Time For A Gym Outfit
We got to say that we are super impressed by this guy’s dedication to attend the gym before it becomes crowded with people. He came back from work, took a shower, and came straight to the gym (without wearing gym outfit).
He is an example of that guy who always tries to save time. But we are not sure he was able to work out the entire time without the fear of his towel falling in front of everyone.
39. Mandatory Gym Selfie
One of the most outspoken rules of working out is to put on a fierce face and take a selfie (it wasn’t always like this).
Now people go to the gym not to stay in shape but to take photos of them doing workouts. This dynamic due has pulled off a flawless duckface pout without breaking a sweat. Bravo!!!
40. No Time is a Bad Snack Time
We have seen so many videos and memes of people and treadmills, but there is always someone who thinks they can do better.
For instance, this young fella wasn’t interested in using the treadmill to run or power walk. He was more interested in using it as an automatic feeding machine. We’ve got to give 0 points for his laziness but 100 points for his creativity.
41. Can’t Help It
Some people don’t want to do work even when they are in an ideal environment. This lady has everything she needs for a good work out and yet she’s still sitting on a chair that’s on a treadmill.
It is unclear if this lady wanted to come to the gym or was forced to be there. Whatever she chooses, we hope she enjoys it.
42. Exercise for an Active and Healthy Brain
You may have heard or read that “treat your brain like a muscle by exercising it.” Well, it seems like this person took it way too seriously.
Or maybe he doesn’t know quite yet how to use the machines in the gym properly. One wonders what he is thinking about while doing this “brain exercise.”
Rare Photos Of A-Listers That Offer A Look At Who They Were Before Hollywood
Ashley Lez
This article was originally published on JustStarz
While we think we know celebrities inside and out, there is a good portion of their lives that we have never seen before. Here’s something you’ve probably wondered about – what were they like as kids? Did they show signs of one day becoming the world-renowned stars that they are today? What was life like for them growing up? In order to give us an idea of what these beloved Hollywood figures were like, we found these rare photos of your favorite celebs before they were famous. You will be surprised to see that they were once ordinary people just like us.
Robin Williams In His Senior Year Of High School In 1969
When Robin Williams was a senior in college, he decided to go to college and study political science. However, he quickly realized it wasn’t the field for him and dropped out to pursue acting. He studied theater for three years at the College of Marin in California.
One of his professors realized how talented Williams was and cast him in the musical Oliver!. He later attended Julliard, and during the summers he worked as a busboy. After graduating, Williams worked odd jobs until he got his big break on Mork & Mindy.
Adele Was A Huge Spice Girls Fan
In case you missed it, Adele was and probably still is the biggest Spice Girls fan in the world. The British singer grew up with their music and had their posters plastered all over her bedroom walls. As a child, Adele was already interested in singing, and she became obsessed with voices.
Adele spent much of her youth in Brockwell Park, playing the guitar and singing to friends. Years later, she drove by and started crying because she really missed the memories she made in that special place.
Keanu Reeves Circa 1984
In high school, Keanu Reeves was a successful ice hockey goalkeeper and considered going pro but decided to pursue acting when he was 15 instead. He made his debut in 1984 on an episode of the series Hangin’ In, which allowed him to get more roles on teen dramas.
Reeves was also interested in music and formed an alternative band in 1991. Surprisingly, it was moderately successful, and they were active until the early 2000s. His big break was in Point Break, and this helped him shoot to stardom.
Catherine Zeta-Jones In Her Grade School Photo
Catherine Zeta-Jones’ school uniform made her look like she belongs to the Gryffindor house. She must have been in first or second grade at the time, and she couldn’t be cuter. The actress was born in Wales, and in school, she would participate in stage shows.
At a young age, she gained local media attention when her rendition of a Shirley Bassey song won a Junior Star Trail talent competition. Zeta-Jones would take trips to London with her dance troupe, where she also auditioned for shows.
Morgan Freeman In The Air Force
When Morgan Freeman was just nine years old, he starred in his school play and later won a statewide drama competition. He performed in the radio show in high school, and it earned him a drama scholarship from Jackson State University.
However, instead of taking the scholarship, he enlisted in the Air Force and served between 1955 to 1959. After his service, Freeman worked as a transcript clerk for Los Angeles City College and studied arts there. He was also a dancer until he started getting steady acting jobs.
Anne Hathaway As A Clown Witch
It seems that Anne Hathaway was practicing for The Witches before she was even famous. Besides looking exactly the same, she seems to have confused a witch and a clown in this mashup of a costume. Surprisingly, Hathaway’s parents didn’t want her to pursue acting.
Hathaway wanted to become a nun during childhood because she was raised with really strong Roman Catholic values. However, acting was always in the back of her mind, and we’re grateful she chose to entertain us on the big screen.
Joe Biden When He Was 26
Unsurprisingly, Joe Biden was the class president in school and played on the basketball team. He also briefly played football in college but decided to focus on his studies instead. When he graduated from the University of Delaware, he worked as a clerk at a law firm.
Biden eventually took the bar exam and began practicing law. This helped propel his career, and he served in the US Senate for 36 years before serving as vice president with Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017. Say what you will about his politics but it’s undeniable that he was so handsome back in his day.
Madonna’s Childhood Close-Up
Little Madonna was bright-eyed and looking towards the stars as a child. The singer grew up in the Detroit suburbs with her five siblings, and her family would call her “Little Nonnie” because her mom was also named Madonna.
Madonna was known for rebelling at school after her mother passed away, and her dad decided to sign her up for piano lessons and ballet classes. Her dance teacher was the one who encouraged her to pursue a career in dance.
Jim Carrey In The ’80s
As teenagers, Jim Carrey’s family struggled financially. Therefore, he and his brother John took up jobs as a janitor and security guard at a tire factory. While working at the factory, Carrey dropped out of school to perform comedy in downtown Toronto.
He steadily increased his local popularity as an impressionist and stand-up comic going on tour and appearing on television. His shows made him more popular and landed him the roles in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask, which helped him become the actor he is today.
Taylor Swift Made Tie-Dye Trendy Before Everyone
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift became interested in musical theater and started performing in the local youth theater. She also traveled regularly to New York for vocal and acting lessons. She was inspired by Shania Twain and shifted her focus to country music.
At age 11, Swift traveled with her mom to Nashville to pursue her music career dreams. Swift submitted demos to record labels but was rejected. However, she kept trying until someone finally took her seriously when she was a bit older.
Susan Sarandon When She Was 17
Not only was Susan Sarandon gorgeous as a teenager, but she was also very talented. In her college years, she studied drama and supported herself by cutting hair, cleaning houses, and working as a switchboard operator.
Not long after she graduated, Sarandon landed a role in the film Joe, which propelled her to get more parts in movies like The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It turned into a cult classic, and people knew her name wherever she went.
Selena Gomez’s Face Has Not Changed
Selena Gomez has always been the most adorable human ever since she was a little girl. Born and raised in Texas, Gomez first became interested in entertainment when she saw her mom preparing for stage productions. Gomez then began to audition for many roles.
While auditioning for Barney and Friends, Gomez met Demi Lovato and the two both landed roles on the show. She said she learned everything about acting and stage production while working on Barney, and she was released when she got too old for the show.
Peter Dinklage In The 1980s
We could never imagine Peter Dinklage with a mullet until now. Dinklage realized he wanted to start acting when he was just a teenager after he saw the production of True West by Sam Shepard. That play ended up determining the direction of his life.
After studying drama in college, Dinklage struggled to get well-paying roles, so he worked at a data processing company to make ends meet. He wasn’t getting any parts because he refused to play characters that focused on his achondroplasia. Finally, in 2003, he got his big break in The Station Agent and was nominated for a SAG Award for it.
Little Baby Beyonce
You might not recognize her as a baby, but this tiny tot grew up to be Queen Bey herself. As a child, Beyonce enrolled in dance classes, and the teacher discovered she was also a talented singer when she heard her humming a song.
Beyonce’s interest in performing continued after she won her school talent show when she was seven. Her parents enrolled her in a music school after that to develop her talents, and Beyonce continued onto an arts high school as well.
Tom Hanks In His High School Yearbook
After reading Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh and watching the performance, Tom Hanks decided he wanted to become an actor. He enrolled in the theater program at California State University Sacremento and would work in the theater when he wasn’t studying.
Eventually, Hanks decided to drop out and went on to audition for any small role he could find. After the success of Splash, he became a recognizable face and landed the role in Big. It was that movie that made him an established actor in Hollywood.
Jennifer Garner Hanging Out On The Swings
When Jennifer Garner was little, her mother used to call her “ragamuffin,” and we can see why now. The actress had an interesting upbringing that she joked was practically Amish because her parents were so strict about what she and her sisters did.
Initially, Garner went to college to study chemistry but quickly changed her major to theater. She would spend her summers working stock theater and found a passion for acting through this job. She also moved from South Carolina to LA once she graduated.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Looking Ripped At 15
Is anyone really surprised that The Rock was already a muscle man by the time he was a teenager? Before starting his acting career, he was succeeding in sports and started playing professional football not long after he graduated from college.
His nickname “The Rock” came from his days in the wrestling ring, and by the late 1990s, he was already a star being offered roles in movies. The movie that really changed his career was The Mummy Returns in 2001.
Nirvana In 1990
Three years before Nirvana was formed, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic met at school. They had a few drummers before being introduced to Dave Grohl in 1990. Their first album, Bleach, was released in 1989 and became a favorite for college radio stations.
Nirvana found mainstream success with their single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in 1991 from the album Nevermind. The album sold 400,000 copies in just a week and 30 million worldwide.
Sean Connery During His Time With The Royal Navy
Mr. 007 wasn’t always an action-fighting international man of mystery. Sean Connery used to be a milkman in Edinburgh before joining the Royal Navy when he was 16. After three years, he was discharged on medical grounds and returned to his hometown.
After the navy, Connery carried a few jobs like a lorry driver, a lifeguard, a laborer, and an artist’s model for Edinburgh College of Art. In the 1950s, he finally started getting roles and an extra, but it wasn’t enough to make ends meet. He had to work as a babysitter until he got more significant parts.
Angelina Jolie Has Always Been Gorgeous
When we were 16, we certainly didn’t look like this, but Angelina Jolie has always been stunning. As a child, she enjoyed watching movies with her mother, which inspired her to start acting. Jolie attended the Lee Staberg Theater Institute for two years and appeared in a few productions.
Jolie later studied drama at NYU and starred in her brother’s student films. However, her first leading role as a professional actress wasn’t until 1992 in Cyborg 2, but she didn’t like the outcome and didn’t audition for anything else for a year.
Millie Bobby Brown Looks Like She Is Up To Something
While it hasn’t been that long since Millie Bobby Brown was a child, the 17-year-old actress has blossomed into a beautiful young lady. Born in Spain to English parents, she found a love for acting early on in life and made her acting debut when she was nine in Once Upon A Time.
After just a few performances, Brown landed her breakthrough role in Stranger Things as Eleven. Her performance earned her many nominations at such a young age. Today she is a little older but just as sassy as she was in this photo.
Christoph Waltz In 1975
You might know Christopher Waltz from Inglorious Basterds or Django Unchained, but before he was a huge star, he was just a boy with a dream. Waltz was interested in theater early on since he went to the opera for the first time when he was 10. After that, he would go twice a week.
When Waltz attended University, he studied acting, but his true passion was singing and opera. Eventually, he realized his voice wasn’t meant for singing, and he started working as a stage actor and director on a German television show called Wenn Man Sich Traut before his breakthrough role in 2009.
Eminem In The ’80s Before He Was Rap God
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up. The first rap song Eminem ever heard was “Reckless” by Ice-T, Chris “The Glove” Taylor, and David Storrs in 1984. It inspired him to start rapping himself when he was 14. About ten years later, he released his first album, which was a commercial failure.
Everything in Eminem’s career changed when he adopted the name Slim Shady and released a new album in 1997, Slim Shady EP. The album caught the attention of Dr. Dre and he invited Eminem to work together to release another EP two years later.
Lady Gaga In The 2000s
Since she was a child, music has been a part of Lady Gaga’s life, when she started learning the piano at age four. Her passion only grew over the years, and she started performing at open mic nights when she was a teenager.
Gaga also studied method acting for ten years but didn’t get any significant roles in her auditions. While studying in New York, she was performing when a talent scout helped her find her way to superstardom.
Bob Marley Without His Dreadlocks
If you are like us, you have probably never seen Bob Marley without his dreadlocks, but there was a time when he didn’t have them. In 1964 when he released his song “Rude Boy,” he had a buzz cut and dressed much differently.
Marley started playing music in primary school with his friends before moving to Kingston and starting a vocal duo. However, the group didn’t rise to fame until the ’70s when they signed a contract with Island Records.
Christian Bale As A Dashing Teenager
As a teenager, Christian Bale was inspired to become an actor after he studied the work of Gary Oldman. The first time he appeared on television was in a commercial for the fabric softener Lenor in 1982. However, Bale’s first stage debut wasn’t until 1984 in The Nerd with Rowan Atkinson.
Two years later, Bale appeared in his first movie Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna. He then gained attention and more roles, which made him question his career choice. However, Kenneth Branagh talked him out of giving up on his career.
Jennifer Aniston Dressed As A Witch For Halloween In 1986
Jennifer Aniston discovered her love of acting when she was attending a Waldorf school at age 11. Her first job was in an off-Broadway production, but she had to take jobs on the side to support herself. She was a telemarketer, waitress, and bike messenger.
Anniston’s first regular TV role was on a show called Molloy in 1990 before she got her big break as Rachel Green in Friends. She was just 17 when she took this picture, and we wonder if she knew how famous she would be back then.
Tommy Lee Jones While Playing As An Offensive Guard At St. Mark’s School Of Texas
As a teenager, Tommy Lee Jones got a football scholarship that allowed him to attend a boarding school in Dallas, where he took an interest in theater and played in some student productions. He then graduated and attended Harvard University, where he continued to play football and appear in theater productions.
After graduating, Jones decided to move to New York to pursue acting, and he got his first movie role in 1970, playing a Harvard student in Love Story. It must not have been hard for him to play this role, considering he had just graduated from Harvard.
Quentin Tarantino In 1983
Quentin Tarantino started showing an interest in films when he was just a young boy. At age 15, he worked as an usher for an adult movie theater and worked in a video store for five years. By watching movies at the store, Tarantino learned a lot about movie-making.
Tarantino was later paid to watch movies (how do we get that job?) and got his first job in Hollywood in 1986 as a PA. A few years later, he wrote his first movie, launching the career of one of the most admired film directors in Hollywood today.
Clint Eastwood As A High School Senior
Clint Eastwood looks much different than we know him today with his dapper hair and babyface. After graduating from Oakland Technical High School, he held various jobs, including hay baler, logger, and truck driver, before being drafted into the Army during the Korean War.

Vin Diesel When He Had Hair
We had no idea what color hair Vin Diesel had before seeing this picture. The famously bald actor started performing on stage when he was just seven years old in the children’s play Dinosaur Door in New York. Theater continued to be a big part of his life when he was a teenager as well.
Vin Diesel started college but dropped out to begin screenwriting. Diesel’s first role was in 1990 in an uncredited role, but Steven Spielberg later cast him in Saving Private Ryan, which helped him get his foot in the door for more parts.
Katy Perry In 2001
You might not recognize Katy Perry without her signature black locks, but her hair is naturally dirty blond. The pop star began vocal lessons at age nine while singing in church. For her 13th birthday, Perry received a guitar and started playing songs she wrote.
Perry took dance lessons to learn swing, Lindy Hop, and jitterbug, all popular dance styles in the ’50s. Also, her first album was released under the name Katy Hudson, and it had a lot of Christian music before she changed up her style.
David Harbour In 1994
David Harbour hasn’t changed much over the years besides his hairstyle. Harbour began acting in the 1990s, and his first professional job was on Broadway in the revival of The Rainmaker. He also had minor roles in Law & Order: SVU.
As he gained notoriety in Hollywood, Harbour became a more recognizable face. However, it wasn’t until he was cast in Stranger Things that a role really changed his life. This role actually helped him land other parts.
Mark Zuckerberg At Harvard Where He Created Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg looked less like a robot back in his college days, but someone should have told him to clean up his room. The Facebook founder began writing software when he was in middle school, and his father hired him a private tutor to help his son’s interests.
Zuckerberg would create video games, and his artistic friend would draw the graphics. In college, he became a programming prodigy and created a few new programs before Facebook. It’s funny that this teenager is now one of the richest men in the world.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson In His Childhood Class Picture
Before he was a buff action star, The Rock was just a cute little buck-toothed child. He grew up in New Zealand and across the US as his family moved around often. As a child, he was always into sports and looked up to his dad, who was a former professional wrestler.
Because of his connections with the wrestling world, The Rock secured a contract with WWF for eight years before pursuing an acting career. Today he is one of the highest-grossing and highest-paid actors in Hollywood.
Rihanna Looks Exactly The Same (Sort Of)
Little baby Rihanna before she was the CEO of Fenty and Savage X Fenty. The Barbados native grew up listening to reggae music, which later inspired her own sound. However, she didn’t get into singing right away as she was an army cadet at a sub-military program.
While in the program, Rihanna met a singer-songwriter who inspired her to pursue a music career. Although we aren’t getting new music any time soon, we have to appreciate how far this baby came from a small island to worldwide fame.
Usher Was Probably Flirting With The Camera
Usher is known for his smooth RnB jams that make women everywhere swoon, and we can imagine he was a very flirty baby too. At his young age, he was already showing off his smolder for the camera.
As a child, his mother told him to join the church choir because he was so talented. Then his grandmother considered he could sing professionally once she heard him. The family decided to move to Atlanta to give him a better opportunity to become something.
Heidi Klum Collecting Easter Eggs
As a child growing up in Germany, Heidi Klum was known for her beauty. A friend convinced her to join a modeling contest, and she won out of 25,000 contestants, and she was offered a modeling contract. After graduating from high school, she accepted the contract.
She was going to try for an apprentice position at a fashion design school, but the modeling contract was more promising. Klum proved herself quickly and landed on the cover of French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish Vogue.
Julia Roberts Practicing Her Vocals
We can’t tell if Julia Roberts was in shock, singing, or yelling in this picture, but we would like to think she is singing. She looks a lot like her niece Emma Roberts here, and we can see the resemblance in their family.
As a child, she wanted to be a veterinarian, but once she made it to college, she decided to drop out, move to New York and pursue acting. Once there, she signed with a modeling agency and enrolled in acting classes.
Amanda Seyfried Was Beautiful Even As A Baby
It’s no surprise that Amanda Seyfried was a gorgeous baby because she is such a beautiful adult. As a child, she began modeling when she was ten in print ads for Limited Too with Leighton Meester. She was also featured on the cover of three Sweet Valley High novels.

Britney Spears In Her Original Diva State
Oops, she did it again! Britney Spears always had that star power, and you can see it here in her childhood photo. From a young age, she already had an interest in singing, dancing, and entertaining people with her vibrant personality.
While her adult life hasn’t been so easy, one thing is for sure; that little girl grew up to be one of the best performers. If only people would let her make her music and live her life the way she wants to, she would be so much happier.
Christina Aguilera Halloween Circa 1985
This looks nothing like the Christina Aguilera we know and love today, but she was an adorable little girl. As a child, she moved around a lot because of her father’s military service. However, when her parents divorced, she used music as a way to escape.
As a child, Aguilera was drawn to soul and blues music because of her grandmother’s records, and she would practice singing to them. She won her first talent show at age eight for her rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”
Gigi Hadid With Her Grandma
Gigi Hadid was ready to be a model since the day she was born. As a child, she considered herself a tomboy because she was always into sports, especially basketball, but that changed as she got older, and her mom saw the potential she had as a model.
Hadid comes from a family of models, and you can see she gets her beauty from her mother’s side. She is pictured here with her late grandmother, who she would visit in Holland, where her mom grew up.
Katy Perry And The Easter Bunny
Have you ever noticed how creepy the Easter bunnies at the mall used to be (and still are)? Although it is hard to recognize her, that is a little Katy Perry posing in her pastel Sunday best with the Easter bunny.
Perry grew up in a religious household, so the holidays were very important to celebrate for her family. Her family didn’t have a lot of money, and they sometimes had to get food from the church’s food bank, but Perry enjoyed everything her parents were able to provide.
Miley Cyrus And Her Newborn Sister
When Miley Cyrus was first born, her parents named her Destiny; however, she was such a smiley baby, and they started calling her “smiley Miley” before legally changing her name. While missing one of her front teeth, she still has a huge grin on her face because she is holding her baby sister.
Miley and her younger sister Noah may have a seven-year age gap between them, but they are the closest sisters we have ever seen. Miley even said that Noah sometimes takes care of her even though she is the little sister.
Justin Timberlake Rocking Around The Christmas Tree
It seems that Justin Timberlake was always destined to be a musician. As a child growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, he was always surrounded by music. His grandpa introduced him to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, and Timberlake would perform the songs for his family.
When Timberlake was 11, he appeared on the show Star Search performing country music. However, it was around that time that he started to get into RnB music like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. He was so talented that he landed a spot on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Margot Robbie And Her Big Brother
Margot Robbie and her big brother were adorable as children. Robbie grew up in Dalby, Queensland, where she was raised by a single mom after her parents divorced. She lived on a farm and was always an energetic child putting on shows around her house.
In an interview, Robbie once said that she was really dramatic and loved performing. She would watch any movie she could find on TV and re-enact it for her mom. She would even make her family pay to watch her shows, especially her magic shows.
Ariana Grande’s School Photo
If anything, we can thank Ariana Grande for her consistency with her high ponytail. As a child, Grande was already a natural performer and would participate with the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theater, playing her first title character in their version of Annie.
Grande also performed in The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. When she was eight, she also performed on cruise ships, with South Florida Philharmonic. Everyone knew she would be a star with her vocal range, and she was just waiting to be discovered.
Sarah Jessica Parker Reading With Her Mom
As a child, Sarah Jessica Parker was one of eight children, and although her mom barely had time, she still found a moment to read to all of her children. Growing up in Nelsonville, Ohio, her parents tried to provide a lifestyle they couldn’t afford.
Parker remembers that the electricity would be shut off, or they would have to forgo Christmases and birthdays because her parents couldn’t afford the holidays. However, her mother found any free extracurricular activity to sign them up for so they would have “full, rich lives.”
Hilary Duff’s First Headshot Session
Although we know Hilary Duff as the bubbly Disney channel child, she looks pretty angry in her first headshot. When Duff posted this picture, she said she couldn’t believe how many auditions she took this picture to, and we wonder how many of those roles she actually got.
Duff wanted to be an actress from an early age, and her mom even relocated her family from Texas so her children would have more opportunities. Because of her acting career, she was homeschooled from age 8, and she got many minor roles until she landed Lizzie McGuire.

One of the Hollywood taboos is also a “hobby” for many, going under the knife. Although not many celebrities admit to having plastic surgery, it all becomes quite evident sooner or later. As some celebrities openly admit it – like the Kardashians – others hide it. So, here are some of the most expensive celebrity plastic surgeries.
Heidi Montag – $1,000,000
As Heidi Montag appeared with her boyfriend (now husband), Spencer Pratt, in the TV show The Hills, the couple received a lot of love and hate.
She was insecure about her looks and had a lot of grief for her plastic surgery decisions that have cost her a lot of money. She was so addicted to it that she even had ten procedures in one day.
Jennifer Aniston – $30,500
Ah, the beautiful Rachel Green from famous American sitcom still looks younger, and we absolutely love her. She hasn’t admitted to going under the knife, but experts suggest that she has had at least two nose jobs and a facelift in the past two decades. However, she has admitted to treatments such as famous laser and ultrasound ‘no-scalpel’ facials, which she has at least once a month.
On the other hand, many people believe that she still looks younger because of her extensive skincare and beauty regimen. It is rumored that her eyebrows alone cost around $900 per year.
Kourtney Kardashian – $25,000
As expected, the Kardashians will take up a fair share of our list. Kourtney Kardashian was in college when she decided to have breast augmentation, and she was not happy with the results. According to her, she wishes she hadn’t had it done.
Kourtney believes that surgery is an extreme first step, and that’s why she might even consider lasers as an alternative method if she decides to make any future changes to her face or body.
Nicki Minaj – $11,500
Nicki Minaj is a huge celebrity and a role model for many young black women. However, it is worth mentioning that her signature look is not natural.
It took over $11,000 to give her the look that she has today. The procedures include buttock implants, skin bleaching, and a nose job.
Victoria Beckham – $12,956
Victoria, the wife of David Beckham, has a love-hate relationship with plastic surgery. It is because she had bits and pieces done on her body and then removed as well.
She has openly admitted about her breast augmentation and regrets her decision to get them done. She is quite outspoken about it and says that she did it due to insecurity. “Don’t mess with your boobs, just celebrate what you’ve got,” she said.
Pete Burns – $38,000
The late English musician was known for his ever-changing and sometimes androgynous appearance, and he did not shy away from admitting that they were possible because of a lot of cosmetic surgeries.
Although he had many other procedures, the common ones he had were lip fillers, cheek implants, and nose jobs.
Kylie Jenner – $2,000,000
It was reported by “OK! Magazine” that the entire sum of Kylie Jenner’s surgeries might be about two million dollars. Yes, you’ve read it right.
However, she has publically admitted only to lip fillers because (allegedly) her date said to her that he didn’t think she would be any good at kissing. There are rumors that she’s had Botox, breast implants along with other procedures.
Jocelyn Wildenstein – $6.500,000
These pictures are not photoshopped. Jocelyn is known as the Catwoman. there is speculation that she did all the extensive surgeries because her late husband liked cats.
She has no plans to stop. She even said that if she ever wanted work done, she would continue to have a plastic surgery into her nineties
Angelina Jolie – Unknown
Although some celebrities get plastic surgery in an attempt to look younger, this wasn’t exactly the case with Angelina Jolie. She had a double mastectomy and was at serious risk for breast cancer. Therefore, she got implants after the removal of her breasts.
However, some experts firmly believe that she’s had a facelift and nose job at some point. Look at her comparison photo and decide for yourself.
Caitlyn Jenner – $60,000
After many years of battling with her gender identity, Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner) had gender reassignment surgery to fully transition into a woman. Caitlyn was empowered when she finally got to express her true self.

Mickey Rourke – $36,000
So far, you have seen that most of the big spenders on our list are women, but Mickey Rourke is undoubtedly one of those male actors who wanted to give them fierce competition.
It is rumored that he has had six facelifts and a nose alteration at some point in his career. Decide for yourself.
Michael Jackson – $1,000,000
The “King of Pop” is one of the most famous people who entirely changed themselves with the help of plastic surgery. He started having work done at a young age and he never really stopped.
Even though he is known for changing his skin to completely white, he also had rhinoplasty along with many other procedures.
Nadya Suleman – $12,180
Remember Octomom? Well, if you don’t then you’ll be a bit surprised to know that she is popular because she gave birth to eight babies at once. She was heavily criticized by some people as they thought she did it for fame and money.

This transformation won’t surprise you once you learn that this American producer and television personality was a great friend of Michael Jackson, a plastic surgery enthusiast.
Many believe that there was a time in his life when he became addicted to plastic surgery.

He regrets that he went to great lengths and it even cost him way more than what he could afford.

Dolly Parton – $23,000
Dolly Parton is a multitalented woman and an inspiration for many out there. She seems to age like fine wine, but is not afraid to rely on technology to enhance her appearance.
Although Dolly is in her seventies, she is still going strong. As some people believe that all the procedures (a nose job, facial fillers, a lip lift, neck lift, brow lift, and eyelid lift) over the years have made her look terrible, but that’s not what we think. She is still a beautiful woman who knows how to carry herself gracefully.
Robert Pattinson – Unknown
If you are wondering why would the Twilight heartthrob need cosmetic surgery, then you should know that he wasn’t always in high demand. There is a rumor that he couldn’t go into modeling as a teen and that’s why he got himself a rhinoplasty.

Nikki Cox – Unknown

There are rumors that she had Botox and breast implants and that her drastic changes in looks have almost killed her career. However, she completely denies all the speculations.
Tom Jones- $90,000
We have no hesitation in saying that Tom Jones is still the heartthrob for middle-aged women everywhere. Well, he does take good care of his health but he is able to stay hot thanks to plenty of work done on him.
From facelifts, dental work to alternations to his eyelids and his nose, he has been under the knife a lot of time.

Charlotte Crosby- $20,000
This Geordie Shore star isn’t afraid to admit she’s a fan of the scalpel. As you can see, there’s a huge difference between her 2011 look and today- Charlotte has spent about $20,000 on her nose, lips, eyebrows, and tons and tons of botox. Even professionals have warned she’s going too far and needs to slow down, but we don’t think this filler fanatic will stop anytime soon. Once you start, it’s hard to stop after all.
We think Charlotte looked great before and is still beautiful now, but let’s hope she doesn’t let things get too far out of hand.
Bella Hadid- Unknown
Clearly, you can see Bella looks very different in these two photos. Experts theorize that she’s had a whole handful of procedures from a brow lift to face fat removal, but the only thing the star will fess up to is a nose job which she later regretted, saying “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors.” That’s a nice sentiment, and we really do think she’s a beauty either way- but we still think there’s more to this snatched face than Bella owns up to.
Well, fine, Bella, keep your secrets! We’ve seen enough of Hollywood to know that it’s easy for stars to keep things under wraps and ultimately, she is entitled to her privacy- we just want the number of the surgeon, you know, for a friend.
Hollywood Stars’ Photos Recreated With A Funny Twist
Ashley Lez
This article was originally published on 24/7Mirror
Have you ever looked at a picture posted by your favorite A-lister and thought, “how do they look good wearing something like that or posing like that?” A woman named Celeste Barber started recreating ridiculous famous people’s Instagram photos, and she has gained 6.9 million followers on Instagram in the process. She shows what the average person would look like if they were taking these photos in real life. Keep reading to see the hilarious results!
Instagram Vs. Gravity
Alexis Ren modeled this shirt with perky boobs drawn on it, but realistically, no one’s chest naturally looks like that.
While Celeste made her shirt the exaggerated version, that is more realistic than the original Instagram. Let’s be real; gravity starts to win as you get older.
Boats, Bikinis, Flexibility, and Humility
Gigi Gorgeous looks like she is floating on air in her photo, but it does not look easy to achieve that pose. Who would want to contort themselves onto some metal bars?
Celeste is how most of us would look if we tried this pose. It seems like she is on the struggle bus, and we can only imagine how uncomfortable that is.
Did Someone Say Flamingo?
When you wish you were on a private yacht with a giant flamingo floaty like Kendall Jenner, but you are stuck at home.
She traded the boat deck for her driveway and added some water wings because cement can be dangerous.
